<div class="PageCaption">Manually Creating Groups</div>

<p>
NodeXL's automatic group creation features are fast and convenient, but you can also create groups manually and specify exactly which vertices go into which groups.
</p>

<div class="HowToTitle">
To create groups manually:
</div>

<ol>

    <li class="HowToItem">
    <a href="../Selection/SelectingVertices.htm">Select one or more vertices</a> that should be in a group.
    </li>

    <li class="HowToItem">
    In the Excel Ribbon, select NodeXL, Analysis, Groups, Add Selected Vertices to Group.
    </li>

    <li class="HowToItem">
    In the Add Selected Vertices to Group dialog box, enter a group name to create a new group or select the name of an existing group.
    </li>

    <li class="HowToItem">
    Click OK.
    </li>

    <li class="HowToItem">
    Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each group.
    </li>

    <li class="HowToItem">
    <a href="../SimpleGraph/Overview.htm#ShowGraph">Show the graph</a> to see the groups.
    </li>

</ol>

<p>
Because a vertex can never exist in more than one group, NodeXL automatically removes the selected vertices from any groups they belong to before it adds them to the group that you specify.
</p>

<div class="HowToTitle">
To remove one or more vertices from their groups without adding them to another group:
</div>

<ol>

    <li class="HowToItem">
    <a href="../Selection/SelectingVertices.htm">Select the vertices</a>.
    </li>

    <li class="HowToItem">
    In the Excel Ribbon, select NodeXL, Analysis, Groups, Remove Selected Vertices from Groups.
    </li>

</ol>
